Time is running out, apply for HW’s Tech100!

Are you a tech innovator in housing? This is your chance to show to us what you can do. The HW TECH100 is the essential list of the top 100 technology and software firms making waves in the U.S. housing economy. Hundreds of companies apply, but only 100 companies make the final cut.

What does it take to make the list?

Companies need to meet the following basic criteria to apply for submission to the HW TECH100:

Offer technology and/or software that focuses on or enables one or more of the following industry sectors: residential mortgage lending, residential mortgage servicing, residential mortgage investments, or real estate

The technology and/or software must be available to third party users and/or actively marketed and sold to third parties for use: this means pure play dot-coms are eligible, along with software development companies. Companies developing proprietary, in-house technology are not eligible

The technology must be available in-market at time of application: no vaporware or pre-launches allowed

Technology may be B2B (business-to-business) or B2C (business-to-consumer) in nature

HousingWire’s editors will score each entry and work to arrive at an agreement on the final list of 100 firms, based on the information provided in the entry and any additional research. Any questions? Feel free to reach out to me directly at cbasile@housingwire.com.

The first thing you notice about New American Funding's Rick and Patty Arvielo is how much they like each other.

Read on to find out more about how this successful couple manages their life, and business, together.

Commentary

For the first time since 1981, our industry is experiencing a rising interest rate environment. Some people may assume that the current market shift means their business will take a downward turn from which they will never recover. I don’t buy it. The way I see it, challenging times force us to refine our processes and practices.
